    The Great HTF Music Challenge

    Now I'm going to post one of my wife's and daughters favorite. They saw her in concert right before the pandemic and they got to go see her again about a month ago. Side note, the concert venue confiscated my wife's epipen at the door. Good thing she didn't have an allergic reaction while...

    The Great HTF Music Challenge

    Well, I'm going in 2 different directions here in my listening. First is a song that was a "hidden" track on a cd my wife had. It sounds so "unpolished" because he supposedly stopped on the side of the road and recorded it into a cassette recorder he had. You don't hear it here but on the cd...

    I agree. For some reason Eric Clapton kept popping up in my head.

    Lossless streaming music content: who's in charge?

    Thanks for bringing this up Guaryan. I've always thought the same thing. I've seen one lossless streaming service claiming all the millions of tracks they have in lossless format. I was wondering exactly how they were doing so many, especially since they didn't have the capital like Apple...

    What album do you tend to turn up?

    I'm probably going to be killed in my car one day for riding around with Drake's "Started from the bottom" track blaring and me singing along. I don't do "albums", I only do songs. I probably haven't listened to a dozen albums all the way thru in my time on earth. If I am alone I will turn...

    What album do you tend to turn up?

    Written about the PA state treasurer committing suicide at his own press conference with a .357 magnum.

    What's your Internet Speed and how much speed matters?

    I'm not sure they are surveying in all areas. ATT just started putting fiber down in my moms neighborhood and no one surveyed them to see if enough were interested. Of course in her case they have to do that in order to compete with Comcast. As for the fiber in my area, the difference will...

    Sound United to be acquired

    Apple is very good in the lawsuit area. They closed both of their stores in my area so they no longer could be sued in that district court because they were losing too many cases there. I'm with you though, a lot of times these things never go to court and they settle and Apple just ends up...

    What's your Internet Speed and how much speed matters?

    That is how our electricity works but of course I guess you saw what happens in the free market during our big snow/ice snow storms last year. People got $6000 electric bills for the month because they were with companies that charge the going rate for electricity. A lot of us are now paying...

    What's your Internet Speed and how much speed matters?

    My mom had directv for tv. I can't get her off it. She has to have it for baseball. She tried the baseball package but they blocked the team she wanted to watch which is 300 miles away from her. Apparently 300 miles away is still considered a home team and all their games were blacked out.

    Sound United to be acquired

    I hate that people like that are able to just keep getting very lucrative jobs. I guess they must be very good at selling themselves. We had someone like that at a company I worked for many years ago. He ran it into the ground and the board gave him $50mil to go away and we paid for a...

    What's your Internet Speed and how much speed matters?

    I'm currently on a 1gig service with my cable provider. Been with them for 20 years from dial up to dsl and then over to cable. They claim no download limit and so far I've never gotten anything saying I needed my hand slapped. We do have a new service coming to our area, may be the first...

    What's your Internet Speed and how much speed matters?

    I just got my mother off ATT dsl a couple of months ago. She had to have surgery and I had to stay with her for a month while she recovered and there was no way I could WFH with dsl. I got her switched to 50 down on xfinity for around $40, she was paying close to $60 for dsl. She had been...
